Bio Pods - no longer effective

Go  for  it,  M  --  you'll  save  enough  to  be  able  to afford  a  brew  at  half  time  in  the  colder  seasons  !!

Aldi / Lidl  BIO PODS  Rule  !!

Go for it, M. We also use a couple in the tank with the hot water emptied out from the van on out last journey home, and this really helps to keep the cassette clean.

Question from someone only been at this a little while.

Does the blue (or green) not break down the solids in the cassette as well as help with the niff? or do these Aldi/Lidl pods (I assume washing machine pods) also do the same job?

The  Aldi / Lidl  pods  ( MUST  be  their  Biological  ones  !! )  do  exactly  the  same  job  as  the  Blue  and  Green  fluids,  Karlprust.  But  they  have  the  advantage  of  not  dripping  on  your  feet  nor  staining  fingers  etc,  but  smell  rather  better  and  are  certainly  cheaper.  And  as  you  have  surmised  they  are  the  washing  machine  jobbies,  that  is  why  they  actually  keep  the  toilet  tank  so  much  cleaner  after  they  have  been  used  for  a  while.

Of  course,  if  you  don't  like  the  results  you  can  always  bung  'em  in  the  washer  !!

Interesting, we've been using the Lidl bio ones for more than a year and they've been fine. On our last trip, some of which was in the very hot weather, we noticed they didn't seem as effective regarding smell. (Wondered if it was cos the container had been open since last year but couldn't think it would be.) Used the organic fluid a couple of times smell seemed better. Started a new container of Lidl pods and noticed a slight smell, it was rather warm again. Could it be a heat thing? I do hope not, we think they do at least as good a job as the fluid for a fraction of the price. We will continue to use pods and we haven't finished the organic fluid yet so can alternate if necessary.

Be interested in others observations.

We've just been trying them. OH not happy, no smell but not working otherwise. One more try out but I think we'll be back on the usual blue.

Could  it  be  worth  using  TWO ( 2 )  pods  if  the  weather  gets  hot ??  Just  for  a  trial,  of  course.

 

Should  I  find  they  ain't  working  as  well,  I  think  I'll be  heading  to  the  Dometic  variety  full  time ( I use  them  when  septic  tanks  require  it ) --  dearer  I  know  but  much  cleaner  on  my  size  11  paws  !!

We did try 2 pods at one point last week and didn't seem to make much difference.

 Bio pods in "Waitrose" in vinyl packets on the lower shelf's are £3.00 for 12 and £4.59 for 24.These are working well in my sewerage tank,even in the current hot weather ..Upon drain-off,the effluent smells like a washing machine.Obviously only trial and error will determine how many to use ,,depending to the W.C usage and size of tank.S***T happens !! .
